Self-pity quotes

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does
it
become uncomfortable.Maya Angelou

Choice! The key is choice. You have options. You need not spend your life wallowing in
failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame, and self-pity. There is a better way to live!Og Mandino

There's only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and forget everybody else!
It sounds egotistical, but it's actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.Anne Frank

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat
what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to
keep you from growing. You get to choose.Wayne Dyer

I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for
themselves. How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity. Just a few tearful
minutes, then on with the day.Mitch Albom

Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind, which is to say as long as you
are unconscious, spiritually speaking. I am talking here primarily of emotional pain, which is
also the main cause of physical pain and physical disease. Resentment, hatred, self-pity,
guilt, anger, depression, jealousy, and so on, even the slightest irritation, are all forms of
pain.Eckhart Tolle
